IndustrialMESH and path redundancy
What is IndustrialMESH?
How is it handled
Self-Healing, redundant, backup communication paths – Automatic Switching
Uses standard network Spanning Tree Protocol (STP, RSTP, MSTP)
Routes can be configured, controlled and prioritized by user or Auto-MESHing (“Rapid Ready” Mode of operation – similar to an ad-hoc network.)
Can this be configured dynamic or does it have to be manually configured/static. (See above)
Additionally, the MESH Bridge links can be individually configured for always up status or dynamically controlled based upon RSSI thresholds
